Changan Yidong, a compact car, is one of the more popular models of Changan Automobile, and has a good sales performance for a long time. Now that the 2024 Changan Yidong has been launched, I believe that many consumers who pay attention to this model have learned the news. Compared with the old model, the newly launched 2024 Changan Yidong, with a starting price of 83,900, has once again attracted the attention of many consumers. But to be honest, there are many affordable new energy models in the compact car market now, and in comparison, the price of the 2024 Changan Yidong does not have many advantages, so is it worth buying?
From my personal aesthetic point of view, the exterior design of the 2024 Changan Yidong shows a stylish and sporty atmosphere as a whole. This model adopts the "vertical and horizontal" design language, and its front face part adopts a frameless grille design, which is matched with a sharp headlight group, making the 2024 Changan Yidong look like it has a strong visual impact and a strong sense of modernity. In addition, the side shape of the 2024 Changan Yidong body is smooth, and the tail design is also more three-dimensional, and the overall shape and details are more refined and dynamic.
However, the 2024 Changan Yidong also has some deficiencies in terms of exterior design. Compared to its competitors, although the exterior design of the 2024 Changan Yidong is more attractive, in some details, the model is not as fine as the price joint venture model. In addition, although the design language of the 2024 Changan Yidong is younger and more stylish, this design may also limit its appeal to a wider consumer group, especially for consumers who prefer a traditional or conservative style, and may find the 2024 Changan Yidong's exterior design too aggressive.
The interior design of the 2024 Changan Yidong presents an atmosphere of fashion and technology as a whole. Its center console design is layered, reducing the number of physical buttons, and it is equipped with a large 13.2-inch vertical screen to enhance the sense of technology in the car. In addition, the new car's instrument panel has a 10.25-inch design, and although it is larger, the layout of the long strip style makes it appear more visually compact. The steering wheel is designed to be irregularly styled so as not to obstruct the driver's view of the dashboard. The minimalist layout of the shift area is both stylish and easy to organize.
However, judging from my personal test drive experience, although the large screen of the 2024 Changan Yidong center console provides consumers with rich functions, it will affect the use experience due to reflection or insufficient touch response. In addition, although the seats in the car are made of imitation leather to improve comfort, this material may wear out after long use, requiring additional maintenance and upkeep. At present, some netizens said that although the interior design of the 2024 Changan Yidong is visually attractive, in actual operation, the use of some functions is not as convenient as expected, such as some functions on its control system, the operation interface is not intuitive enough, and it takes more time for the driver to get familiar and adapt.
In terms of power performance, the 2024 Changan Yidong is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum horsepower of 170Ps, which is an improvement compared with the current model and has a more abundant power output. However, from my personal test drive experience, although the power parameters of the 2024 Changan Yidong are good, when I actually drive, I feel that it is still biased towards calm and comfortable, which may not be suitable for consumers who pursue driving pleasure. In addition, in terms of suspension tuning, the 2024 Changan Yidong has reduced body stability when quickly passing through continuous corners or facing large speed bumps/bumps, which may affect driving stability and comfort.
To sum up, the 2024 Changan Yidong has certain highlights in terms of exterior design, interior technology, and power performance, but there are some deficiencies in detail processing, vehicle system smoothness, and suspension tuning. From the perspective of product power and price, the 2024 Changan Yidong is a cost-effective model, but I am personally not very satisfied with the performance of this model. In my opinion, there are a lot of new energy models in the automobile market today, among which there are many excellent models, and the price is not high, although the current new energy vehicle market is not particularly mature, but in comparison, I still prefer to choose cost-effective new energy models.
